Dear Lovers of God's Kingdom in the P...

Dear Lovers of God's Kingdom in the Portland/Vancouver Area,

We want to announce a new season for Pacificministries.  Not just a new day, (2nd Wednesdays of every month), but a new location, the Troutdale House. (on the Historic Columbia River Highway in Troutdale next to the Depot Museum)

Our son Nathaniel opened a new restaurant based on Erin and Kelly Leggett's Wall Street pizza recipe.  It's called DeLéo Brothers Pizza, named after Carlene's Italian family hospitality and "healthy eating".  (Think garlic rolls and giant calzones) 
He began with inviting all of his friends and family to a "soft" opening April 1.  Apparently this is what restaurants do in the beginning days and weeks before an official opening. The kitchen and staff are free to  make all sorts of adjustments and settle in to the flow of a new eatery.

As you may know, we have recently stopped meeting at the Cox Building at Glenn Otto Park in Troutdale.  God has provided a beautiful gathering place at the Troutdale House.  Laura and her husband who opened this remodeled facility a year or so ago, are exited to welcome worshippers to their building.  Since the Troutdale House is a wedding spot, weekends are not available to us so we will be meeting there on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.

We want to invite our friends and family to a  "soft" opening for our new June 9th Wednesday Worship at the River meeting.  We want to share a potluck meal together. Please choose salad, main dish, or dessert to share and we will begin at 6 p.m then worship together and celebrate what God wants to do this next season.  

The idea that we would not be meeting on the 2nd Sunday opened up a discussion of what we might do on the 2nd Sunday evening of each month--and we think we are to divide into smaller home groups for fellowship and an opportunity to move deeper into prayer.  

It is a new day for Pacificministries and a new day for you, and I believe we are challenged with new assignments.  We know we need to be closely connected with friends who are like-minded.  

We bless you,

Darrell and Carlene
